Merry Christmas + A Little Present Of Sorts December 23, 2008

I just want to wish all my readers a very Merry Christmasand a wonderful, index rebuild free New Year !!

I have a number of topics in the pipeline for 2009, including a look at Index Organized Tables, a discussion on the SYS_OP_COUNTCHG function and how Oracle uses it to calculate the Clustering Factor (not very well in some cases) and the systematic destruction of a number of index related myths that just refuse to go away. So beware all you little myth spreaders out there … 😉

2008 has been a great year for me personally with lots happening. However, the biggest and most wonderful surprise of all was not being awarded an Oracle ACE Director, but last night when I was awarded the The World’s Greatest Business Mind. I’m so very honoured and humbled by this award and I would like thank everyone who made it all possible, especially mum and dad.
